Detailed Solution

Given that two spheres of masses m1,m2  having radii r1,r2  , centers A, B are kept in contact at C as shown

Question Image                

Now gravitational force F = ?

We can consider the entire mass of each sphere to be  concentrated at its center as point mass as shown below

Question Image

Now

r=r1+r2       

We know F=G.m1m2r2    F=G.m1m2(r1+r2)2
